Shiny I’m envious you can leave your roots so long. I’ve too much grey nowadays. I started dying my hair myself in summer. I’ve got used to doing it and it’s cheap and easy. I wish I’d had the nerve ages ago!

It's only because I'm not going anywhere Honey. I'm WFH and normally we do Teams calls without video . I normally wear a hat to walk the dog !!

half crepe half pancake - good name for a band that

Honeyroar · 16/02/2021 22:17

I did pancake day faithfully for my stepson as a new stepmum. Twelve years later he tells me he’s never really liked pancakes!

Lucky for you Coffee with only a few greys. I’ve got Cruella de Ville sideburns!

@FlouncingBabooshka

Thank you Honeyroar, don’t mind if I do.

I think you posted Edie Brickell, What I Am

Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks etc

but now I can’t find it.

I love that Edie Brickell album. I've posted lyrics from it a few times, but no-one's ever got them.

🥛oat milk Dexter. Will that do? Did you say you were vegan the other day?

Honey with all your animals, Cruella is the last character anyone would think of!

I quite like how my hair has started to go grey. I don’t seem to have roots as such but I have two long streaks at the front on either side and then other random streaks throughout. It’s a bit Cruella De Ville/Mallen streak I bought some dye ages ago but I’m holding off using it as I’m quite intrigued about how this will develop...

Oat milk is wonderful, thank you! Vegetarian, trying to go vegan but I like eggs and cheese too much. All the vegan cheese I've tried is rank Confused
Honeyroar · 16/02/2021 22:22

Correct FB for Edie Brickell. I love her. I’m sure I’ve guessed some of her lyrics before Needtoknow. I’ve posted a fair few.

FlouncingBabooshka · 16/02/2021 22:23

@Honeyroar - cross post! So we are both a bit Cruella-esque!

Honeyroar · 16/02/2021 22:23

I’m the same Dexter! Cheese addicted veggie. 🐭

🤣 yes, apart from I’m not remotely intrigued as to where it will go if I don’t dye it!

NeedToKnow101 · 16/02/2021 22:26

My roots (so I suppose all my hair) are nearly fully grey now if I don't dye them.

And they were wild and free
Happy as could be in America
They were wild and free
Everything to see in America, America
90s

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 16/02/2021 22:26

Ah. Good to see you FlouncingB. I need a quick word....

Honeyroar · 16/02/2021 22:28

Needtoknow I probably would have got away with it if I’d said they were crepes. When I first met my husband my stepson was 7 and had decided he wouldn’t eat cheese. I used to make things and say it’s not cheese it’s mozzarella or Parmesan and he’d happily eat it. (wicked step mum!)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 16/02/2021 22:28

I know that one needtoknow. Grrr
